PWW: Challenging the Inner Half-Orc

December 10, 2007 by guest

Hurrah! It’s time for another PM post! Do you know what happens when you leave your inner half-orc in a closet for too long? First, you start talking about him using the 3rd person. Second, he builds up an immense amount of RPG inertia and should he ever gain momentum, he could do something very […]

November 29, 2007 by The Chatty DM

What better way to complete this week’s unofficial ‘become a DM’ theme and sandwich PM’s most excellent post with yet another Top 5 list? In order to balance my crunchy Ying with some fluffy Yang here’s a few words on my top Fluff books and boxed sets. Now since I’m not much of a fluff […]

The (annotated) case reports of Agent James (Kevin) Smith: Introduction

November 10, 2007 by The Chatty DM

Decrypted from a junk post on alt.conspiracy.inconnu on November 8, 2007. Author: woKened_up_S75. It’s so easy to steal copies of classified reports when you happen to be the one who wrote them… well at least, technically speaking I did. I finally made the classes and am just one day shy of being a fully licensed […]

Cooperative World Building

September 11, 2007 by The Chatty DM

Image source: Hollow World, Basic D&D campaign Setting Earlier today, my pal Yan was telling me how much he liked the fact that I took players ideas and in-game decisions to shape the campaign world’s past and present. It’s true. From campaign to campaign, the players also occasionally glean events, places or people that were […]

Happy B'day Shamus

August 24, 2007 by The Chatty DM

Shamus Young of DM of the Ring fame turns 36 today. Happy Birthday man! You created something really big and cool and we appreciate you doing it for us. I’m really curious about what’s coming next. I speculate that it will be a RPG satire (confirmed) but probably based on his own gaming photos instead […]

Back to gaming: Mana Screw!!!!!

August 13, 2007 by The Chatty DM

Ok enough about travel stuff and financial editorials. I’m back from my vacation so this means I’m back into the gaming mood. As most married-with-a-life Casual Magic the Gathering player, I have a love-hate relationship with this game. Like most of my gaming buddies that play D&D and Magic, we have very limited time to […]

Web Comics

August 5, 2007 by The Chatty DM

While discussing about Webcomics with my friends the other day I got the idea of listing the ones I read regularly and those I have read in the past. Comics I created (hey, self promotion, it works!) The Life of a Suburban Overlord: My One-panel Photo webcomic about an underachieving Evil Overlord trying to make […]
